What to expect

From the Sagrada Familia to the Casa Milà (La Pedrera), passing through the Palau de la Música Catalana, Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city dotted with exceptional monuments. Many of them are the work of the modernist architect from Ciudad Condal, Antoni Gaudí. If you wish to take home an unforgettable souvenir from your stay in the capital of Catalonia, a visit to Casa Batlló is a must. This modernist building located on Passeig de Gràcia, in the Eixample district, was built at the beginning of the 20th century at the request of a prosperous businessman, Josep Batlló i Casanovas. Its surreal facade with voluptuous curves and eccentric decoration undoubtedly makes Casa Batlló one of the most striking and successful masterpieces of Gaudí and his hometown, Barcelona. This UNESCO World Heritage-listed building must absolutely be included in your sightseeing itinerary during your escapade in Catalan land.

Duration of the visit: about 1 hour
Access to Casa Batlló: Take the "Blue & Agencies" line and present your ticket on your smartphone.

Visit to Casa Batlló

When Antoni Gaudí began the construction of Casa Batlló in 1877, he was far, far from imagining that his work would attract the interest of visitors from around the world more than a century later. The Catalan architect, an original and visionary man who didn't hesitate to challenge the norms of his time, managed to create a modernist building that breathes poetry. A feat that can now be fully appreciated from the outside and inside, in 5 spaces spread over an area of 5,000 m². Entering Casa Batlló means accepting to regress into childhood and letting your imagination run wild to better enter a fairy-tale universe that beckons us. Walls, floor, ceiling, roof, stairs, doors, windows: eccentricity is everywhere, in every detail, and it's this richness that makes this architectural gem fascinating. Proudly standing in the heart of Barcelona, on Passeig de Gràcia, a street close to La Rambla famous for its shops, Casa Batlló has little to envy its great rival, La Pedrera. Once on the roof, let yourself be enchanted by the unusual chimneys over 6 meters high, take a deep breath, and above all, open your eyes wide: Barcelona will reveal itself to you in all its splendor. Formerly known as Casa de los Huesos, Casa Batlló has been arranged to optimize visitor reception. Here you will find a shop, a cloakroom, and access for people with reduced mobility.
